What this video also shows is even if you hit someone, they can keep moving and even run (away or towards you).  I don't know where he hit them, or how many times but he did hit them and they not only ran, but made it to a hospital...

Yeah but it also shows that criminals are cowards and will run away from a lac with a gun. Not stand their ground like the ok coral

Great video, maybe it will change some opinions.

 Whatever pistol he carried appeared to of a smaller caliber .22, or .380 maybe.  I believe if it was something a little bigger you would have seen the impact on the video, and they may not have made it to the hospital which would have been a six figure savings for taxpayers.

I thought it was a .380 like a kel-tec or Bersa.

Not very smart but it worked.

It was a .380 unsure the brand


bad guys had a .45 - but it was rusted up and not functioning and wasn't loaded, also they had a baseball bat.




moral of this story shows you what a .380 can and can't do - he's lucky the .45 wasn't working and he's lucky the bad guys weren't a little more hard core. 


the guy who hit the ground didn't trip and fall, he was hit in the pelvis and his leg went dead - but then came back almost right away.




So ya, crunchy is right to a degree - everyone was lucky
bad were lucky it wasn't a bigger gun and better placed shoots, good guy lucky the bad guys weren't packing functioning .45 and the will to use it or just didn't go to work with the baseball bat[size=78%] [/size]

You almost took the words outta my mouth KFhunter. That is a great clip, but absolutely shows why I replaced my wife's .380 with a 9mm. Carry the biggest gun you can hide, cause the bad guys do.
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. Your character is who you actually are while your reputation is merely who others think you are.

I wasnt saying his technique wasnt good, because it was  :tup:.  Just saying I would have taken cover first then cranked off a few.  It worked out for him well, but had dirt bag turned and fired he would have made a great target.  Not worth dying for.

Some not all so don't count out it and carry as big as you can hide and get training so you can make it count!

A lot can be said for " shock and awe"  criminals don't expect an armed citizenry.  If they did they would not rob that place to begin with.  Just watch the John stossel interview with convicts on gun control.  Of course there is always exceptions to the rule.

To obtain cover the shooter(defender) would have put innocent people into the line of fire if the attackers had been able to return fire.  Plus who can tell if a rusty gun is functional or not just by looking at it.

Jaymark, as you pointed out it wasnt a perfect scenario for the citizen. But those same factors are probably what led the guy to act. Ie, innocent people were in danger so he acted. He had the stones to act, he did it in a competent way, and Im glad he got the job done. He deserves praise for a job well done.
